Dealing with Photos

To produce excellent quality photographs at Fast Books, we scan your photos and assemble them into your text. The reproduction quality is extremely fine from both black & white and colour prints.

We'll crop your pictures as you require.

Englarge them, reduce them

The cost is $22 per photo.

Do-It-Yourself Scans

1. Scan your photos in greyscale at a maximum of 200 dpi.
2. Tweek the contrast, or compress the images to represent only the actual data (short cut: tick the "auto" button on your scanner software ...)
3. Save them in TIFF format and import them into your page layout at 100%.
4. Write your page layouts to Adobe PDF, embedding all fonts
5. Print out your PDF and check it for accuracy before giving it to Fast Books for printing
